Forget the crowds of those internet-famous cities! As a university student who's experienced countless pitfalls, I've compiled four niche cities with a "low budget, high experience" vibe. With convenient transportation and affordable prices, students can easily explore with just their student ID. A three-day trip will set you back over 500 yuan per person, and you can even take those "pretend-you-are-abroad" photos for your Instagram account! 1. Quanzhou, Fujian (450 yuan per person) – Savor the flavors of life in this Song and Yuan Dynasty ancient city - Why it's here: Less crowded than Xiamen, more ancient than Fuzhou, and best of all, the food is dirt cheap! - Must-dos: Free tour of Kaiyuan Temple (see the thousand-year-old mulberry trees and the East and West Pagodas), ride an electric scooter around West Street (take photos of the old arcade streets), and get a hairpin in Xiapu Village (get the same hair style as Zhao Liying for 20 yuan, including the hairstyle, a great deal). - Must-try: Noodle soup (5 yuan per bowl with vinegar pork), earthworm jelly (10 yuan for 3 pieces), and ginger duck (30 yuan per person, all you can eat). Any of the old shops on West Street are guaranteed to disappoint, so students don't have to worry about their wallets. - Transportation: The high-speed rail goes directly to Quanzhou Station, and electric scooters in the city rent for 15 yuan per day, making them more convenient than taxis. 2. Chaozhou, Guangdong (400 yuan per person, over) – Cantonese-style slow living + no entrance fee to the ancient city - Why it's here: The "hidden king" of Chaoshan cuisine, the ancient city is free to explore, and the cost is half that of Guangzhou! - Must-dos: Visit Paifang Street (take photos of the retro arcades, beautifully lit at night), climb Guangji Bridge (20 yuan half-price with student ID, experience the "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge" spectacle), and visit Han Yu Temple (free to learn about Han Yu culture, quiet and less crowded). - Must-Tries: Beef Balls (8 for 10 yuan, so bouncy you could jump rope), Oyster Omelette (15 yuan for a large plate), Licorice Fruit (10 yuan for a large box). Remember to try the local stalls on Xima Road for excellent value. - Transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Chaoshan Station, then take the bus downtown (5 yuan). The ancient city is easily accessible on foot. 3. Ganzhou, Jiangxi (350+ yuan per person) – Slow Time Under the Song Dynasty City Wall - Why It: Home to the most complete Song Dynasty city wall in China, admission is practically free—a delight for students! - Must-Dos: Walk the Song Dynasty City Wall (free, rent a bike for a relaxing ride), visit Bajing Terrace (overlooking the Ganjiang River, 10 yuan with a student ID), and visit Zaoer Alley (for photos of the ancient alleyways from the Ming and Qing dynasties, so there are so few people you can get your own shots). - Must-Tries: Ganzhou Navel Oranges (seasonal only, 10 yuan for 3 jin, super sweet), Fried Noodles (8 yuan a bowl, add a poached egg for only 10 yuan), Hakka Stuffed Tofu (25 yuan per person, eat until you're full). Restaurants in the city center can easily handle a meal for over 20 yuan per person. - Transportation: High-speed rail goes directly to Ganzhou West Station, buses go downtown for 2 yuan, and taxis start at 6 yuan, making it incredibly affordable. 4. Zibo, Shandong (500 yuan per person, over 500 yuan per person) – More than just barbecue, but also millennia-old historical sites. - Why Choose Zibo: With the barbecue craze fading, fewer people are flocking to it, prices are more affordable, and you can even visit historical sites! - Must-Sees: Visit Zhoucun Ancient Commercial City (free, take photos of Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, less crowded than Wuzhen), visit the Zibo Ceramics and Glass Museum (see "Chinese Ceramic Art" for free), and enjoy authentic barbecue (50 yuan per person, eat until you're leaning against the wall, the small pancakes and meat wraps are incredibly delicious). - Must-Try: Besides barbecue, we recommend the Boshan Crispy Pot (20 yuan per portion) and the oil-fried rice noodles (5 yuan per bowl, sour and sweet, refreshing). The "BBQ Courtyard," a local favorite, is cheaper and better than the popular online restaurants. - Transportation: The high-speed rail goes directly to Zibo Station. Taxis in the city start at 8 yuan, and buses go directly to Zhoucun Ancient Commercial City for 3 yuan. Tips for Budget Travelers to Avoid 1. Transportation: Prioritize second-class seats on the high-speed rail. Buy your ticket 15 days in advance to get a low price. In the city, try to use public transportation or shared bikes, which can save you half the price of a taxi. 2. Accommodation: Stay in a youth hostel near a scenic area (50-80 yuan per night) or a chain hotel (student discounts are available). Avoid popular B&Bs, as they may cost more than the internet-famous ones. 3. Tickets: Bring your student ID! Most scenic spots are half-price, and check the opening hours of free attractions in advance (such as Quanzhou Kaiyuan Temple and Chaozhou Paifang Street) to avoid missing out. Students, don't think travel is expensive anymore! For 500 RMB per person, spend three days in these four cities and enjoy delicious local cuisine, stunning photos, and a weekend without the crowds. Pack your bags and head out this weekend! #BudgetTravel #UniqueTravelCities #StudentTravelGuide #BestValueTravelDestinations
